I am a postdoctoral fellow in the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT. I work with Mehrdad Jazayeri studying how the primate brain flexibly learns and executes dextrous object manipulation behavior. More broadly, I'm interested in studying neuroscientific questions that bear on AI, such as how the brain does sample-efficient learning, flexible generalization, and robust motor control. Going forward I plan to work on brain computer interfaces and robotics.

Before beginning my postdoc I did my PhD at MIT studying working memory in primates. Befor that I worked for three years as a research engineer at Google Deepmind, where I focused on visual unsupervised learning and reinforcement learning. Before that I did my undergrad at Harvard, where I majored in math and computer science.

Aside from research, I like playing music (jazz piano) and sports (ultimate frisbee, squash, soccer, hiking).
